one day we blame romney, and we've seen a lot of blame for romney throughout the campaign. one day blaming the polling and liberal media. i think that's a stretch. when do we look at the ideology and the difficult sell that is for the american people. when you have a party where the conventional wisdom is that this is a party that is here for the rich to serve the rich and the corporations, that's a very difficult sell. i don't know that chris christie, regular guy, could sell that better. i don't know if rick santorum can sell that better than what we've seen already. >> well, obviously, there's 39, 38 days to go. where are we sf? 39. >> 30 states already votes, though. that's the other interesting thing in this. we have more than half the country is on you there casting ballots. we haven't had a debate yet. the 2013 presidential debate commission. let's schedule one before a ballot has been cast. >> that's interesting. i don't know that the candidates want to do that, right? the risk of what can happen in the debates gets very frightening for them. i don't know if they wa

would be better if he was miguel romney or mitt rodriguez. he means latino voters may sway this election and i'm getting crushed by 40 points among them and if only i were one of them, they'd vote for me and we could start measuring the drapes in the oval office. not so fast. if the flap of a butterfly's wings in brazil can set off a tornado in texas, surely ranging mitt into miguel would have myriad implications. we have to do the whole back to the future historical mine trip on this one. imagine, please, mitt rodriguez gop presidential candidate. he's not quite a magnet for latino votes. they're not a monolith and he feels arizona's papers please law is a model for the nation and promises to veto the dream act and talks about self-deportation. rodriguez is not much more popular with latino voters than romney was. rodriguez also had some trouble with some white voters. some political scientists say race cost obama three to five points in '08. rodriguez is fighting the same problem and a birther smear campaign for people who don't believe's o
